COVID 19 and the Stay at Home orders have particularly impacted family caregivers. Most are vulnerable adults taking care of even more vulnerable adults. Let us come into your homes with this online educational and support program at no charge to you. If you have a pad, computer or even phone and internet access, we can help you get set up on Zoom.
Powerful Tools for Caregivers gives you the skills to take care of yourself while caring for someone else.
By taking care of your own health and well-being, you become a better caregiver. Class participants share what they have learned with each other. They are also given the Caregiver Helpbook to accompany the class and provided additional caregiver resources.
